Here you can see some residual red paint on the bristles. After awhile
of build-up that can really hurt your brush. This is really true for
drybrushes especially, as that style of painting lends itself to a quick
build-up of paint. Heck a lot of times the short lives of drybrushes
are not beccuase of the technique itself, but because of the damaging
effect of paint build-up.

Plus if paint is left on a drybrush, that old color will apply itself to
your models when you are using it to paint another color, whether you
like it or not.

So I used some of the cleaner on it, and viola the paint is gone!
It's like Magic, well sorta.
You can purchase "The Masters" cleaner on Amazon, as well as locally at stores such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby, AC Moore, etc.
